Wellesley High “urgently” needs a ping-pong table
We’ve been told Wellesley High School’s Enrichment & Recreation Program “urgently” needs a ping-pong table, as the one there has been broken. There’s no budget for a new one.
Sure, many Wellesley homes don’t present that issue we had growing up: barely being able to fit between the walls and our ping-pong table, which underneath doubled as an electronic train track. But maybe you’re downsizing, putting in a golf simulator instead, or just plain not using the table you have.
If you’re looking to offload a ping-pong table, you could donate through Community Investors, which can give you a tax receipt. Otherwise, you can contact Amie Larson ([email protected]) at WHS or Jenn Lawlor ([email protected]) at Wellesley Recreation to arrange pick-up.
Shopper’s Corner is open at Schofield School in Wellesley
Shopper’s Corner, Schofield Elementary School’s PTO-run resale shop that sells sells gently used clothing, accessories and sports clothing, including skates and cleats at rock-bottom prices, is back in business. Shopper’s Corner is located in the basement of Schofield School at 27 Cedar St. The store is open during the school year every Wednesday that school is in session, 8:30am – 12:15pm, and the first Saturday of most months (starting 10/4/19), 9am – 11am.
Established in 1952, Shopper’s Corner stocks its inventory through consignments and donations. With a lot of hard work from dedicated volunteers, the PTO turns the good used stuff they get into almost $10k per year for the school.
